Sea & Sea MDX-PRO Mark III underwater housing review

BONUS: Video of the assembled Sea & Sea MDX-PRO Mark III / Canon 1D Mark III / 2 x Ikelite DS-125 strobes firing at 10 frames per second on 1/8th power for around 18 seconds. We looked at the images from the burst, and not a single frame was dark. This setup is incredible!

One of the nice features on the new Sea & Sea MDX housings is the ability to manually focus macro lens from the zoom control knob. The zoom control knob is on the left side of the housing and easily reachable while your hand is on the grip.Posted by rusty on 2008-03-25 19:57:05

As I take a quick look at the housing pictures there seems to be only one control on the housing's right side? Zoom control would seem to be the obvious use. Is there no manual focus option for zoom lenses and macro lenses?Posted by divegypsy on 2008-03-22 05:10:21

I haven't actually used the YS-250PRO strobes underwater. Anyone else out there used them?Posted by Eric Cheng on 2008-03-20 00:00:46

Any advice on this system with YS-250PRO's vs. using the Ikelite DS-125's. Novice building a system and any advice would be greatly appreciated.Posted by zebulen on 2008-03-18 23:30:50
